Where did this particular piece of Urban Lore get started? I seem
to recall many years ago that somebody had an Ada83 compiler that
generated C as "high level assembler" - Irvine seems to suggest
itself, but I wouldn't swear to it.
It seems lots of folks "know" this piece of lore and it must have
had some basis in fact or legend which has served to keep it
going.
